3 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS DuPont Exirel insecticide is an anthranilic diamide insecticide in the form of a suspo-emulsion, to be mixed with water and applied as a foliar spray. DuPont Exirel insecticide is particularly active on both sucking and chewing (Lepidopteran) insect pests, acting on insect ryanodine receptors. DuPont Exirel insecticide is specially formulated for maximum performance by foliar applications in fodder brassica crops. Before application monitor insect populations to determine whether or not there is a need for application of DuPont Exirel insecticide based on locally determined economic thresholds. More than one treatment of DuPont Exirel insecticide may be required to control a population of pests. DuPont Exirel insecticide primarily intoxicates insect pests via ingestion, but may also have some minimal contact activity. Exposure of the pest species typically results in rapid feeding cessation within a few hours of exposure. However, the time to death and economic levels of population control may be 3 to 6 days depending upon the species. DuPont Exirel insecticide is effective at reducing both direct damage and also the transmission of some insect transmitted diseases. DIRECTIONS FOR USE It's an offence to use this product on animals DO NOT apply if rain is expected within 2 hours of application, or if heavy rainfall likely to generate run-off is expected within 48 hours of application. CROP PEST RATE/HA CRITICAL COMMENTS Fodder brassica Cabbage white butterfly (Pieris rapae) Diamond back moth (Plutella xylostella) Soybean looper (Thysanoplusia orichalcea) European leaf miner (Scaptomyza flava) 150 ml + non-ionic surfactant (refer to Surfactant/ Wetting agent section) Regularly scout crops to monitor for eggs and larvae. Apply when insects or damage first appear and before a build-up of pest numbers. Repeat at 2-3 week intervals as indicated by pest activity. Ensure complete and thorough spray coverage. DO NOT apply more than three (3) applications to any one crop per season and no more than two consecutively. Further treatments should be made with alternative mode of action insecticides. Suppression: Grey cabbage aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae) It is an offence for users of this product to cause residues exceeding the relevant MRL in the New Zealand (Maximum Residue Limits of Agricultural Compounds) Food Standards. Withholding period: Grazing DO NOT graze or feed treated produce to livestock within 28 days of application. INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT DuPont Exirel insecticide can be effectively utilised in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programmes. DuPont Exirel insecticide helps conserve certain beneficial arthropods (parasites and predators). While these beneficial arthropods cannot be relied upon to control pests, they are of potential value and can be monitored along with pests in pest management programmes on crops.

4 BEE SAFETY Spray DuPont Exirel insecticide in flowering crops only after daily honeybee flights, unless spraying after daily honeybee flights is not possible. Ensure; a) flowering weeds are removed before spraying to avoid potential exposure of honeybees; b) spray drift is avoided into flowering off-crop habitats during application. GROUP 28 INSECTICIDE INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING DuPont Exirel insecticide contains cyantraniliprole, a Group 28 insecticide. Unless directed otherwise in the specific crop/insect sections of the label, the following practices are recommended to prevent or delay the development of insecticide resistance to DuPont Exirel insecticide and to Group 28 insecticides; Apply DuPont Exirel insecticide or other Group 28 insecticides using a window approach to avoid exposure of consecutive insect pest generations to the same mode of action. Multiple successive applications of DuPont Exirel insecticide are acceptable if they are used to treat a single insect generation. Following a window of DuPont Exirel insecticide or other Group 28 insecticide, rotate to a window of applications of effective insecticides with a different mode of action. The total exposure period of all Group 28-active windows applied throughout the crop cycle (from seedling to harvest) should not exceed 50% of the crop cycle. Incorporate IPM techniques into the overall pest management program. Monitor insect populations for loss of field efficacy. DuPont Exirel insecticide may be subject to alternative resistance management strategies, refer to for specific pest strategies. If you experience difficulty with control and resistance is a reasonable cause, immediately consult your local farm chemical supplier, consultant, or local DuPont representative for the best alternate method of control for your area. Since the occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use DuPont accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of DuPont Exirel insecticide to control resistant insects. For additional information on insect resistance, modes of action and monitoring visit the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) on the web at MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Spray equipment must be clean and free of previous pesticide deposits before applying DuPont Exirel insecticide. Fill spray tank ¼ to ½ full of water. Shake the container well immediately before decanting. Measure the amount of DuPont Exirel insecticide required for the area to be sprayed. Add DuPont Exirel insecticide directly to the spray tank with the agitation engaged. Mix thoroughly to disperse the insecticide. Once dispersed, the material must be kept in suspension at all times by continuous agitation. Use mechanical or hydraulic means. DO NOT use air agitation, premix or slurry. Top up the tank with clean water to the required volume. If spray solution is left standing, ensure thorough re-agitation of the spray mix until fully re-suspended. DO NOT allow spray mix to sit overnight, as re-suspension may be difficult. Version: Version 1 Current at: 2-February-2016 Page 4 of 7

5 ACIDIFICATION OF THE SPRAY TANK If the ph of the spray tank after all products have been added and mixed is above ph 8, adjust to ph 8 or less using a registered acidifying agent. If the spray tank ph is 8 or less no adjustment of the spray tank ph is necessary. Spray tanks of ph 8 or less can be held for up to 8 hours before spraying. DO NOT store the spray mixture overnight in the spray tank. SURFACTANT/WETTING AGENT Use a non-ionic surfactant/wetting agent at the highest rate recommended for hard-to-wet crops. DO NOT add a non-ionic surfactant/wetting agent if mixing with: another product which already contains a surfactant and/or the product label advises not to add a surfactant. a liquid fertiliser COMPATIBILITY DuPont Exirel insecticide is compatible with many commonly used fungicides, liquid fertilisers, herbicides, insecticides, and biological control products. However, since the formulations of products are always changing, it is advisable to test the physical compatibility of desired tank mixes and check for adverse effects like settling out or flocculation. To determine the physical compatibility, add the recommended proportions of the tank mix products to water, mix thoroughly and allow to stand for 20 minutes. If the combination remains mixed, or can be re-mixed readily, it is considered physically compatible. Avoid complex tank mixtures of several products or very concentrated spray mixtures. The crop safety of all potential tank-mixes, including additives and other pesticides, on all crops has not been tested. Before applying any tank-mixture not specifically recommended on this label or other DuPont supplemental labelling, the safety to the target crop must be confirmed. To test for crop safety, apply the combination to a small area of the target crop in accordance with the label instructions to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not occur. The mixing sequence recommended is: water-soluble bags, water-soluble granules, dry flowable or water-dispersible granules, wettable powders, water-based suspension concentrates, water-soluble concentrates, suspo-emulsions (e.g. DuPont Exirel insecticide), oil-based suspension concentrates, emulsifiable concentrates, adjuvants and surfactants, soluble fertilisers and drift retardants. APPLICATION Use enough water to ensure thorough coverage of the crop. Adjust water volumes to crop stage. Droplet VMD should be of medium spray quality according to ASAE S572 Standard or the BCPC Guideline. Ground application Use a boom sprayer fitted with high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Apply in a minimum spray volume of 100 L/ha. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size, DOES NOT improve canopy penetration and may increase drift potential. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER-CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE. A minimum spray pressure of 275 kpa (40 psi) should be used with fan nozzles applying insecticides. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. When applying DuPont Exirel insecticide by ground application, keep the boom low to avoid spray drift. Aerial application DuPont Exirel insecticide must only be applied with aircraft fitted with accurately calibrated equipment. Apply a minimum total spray volume of 50 L/ha with nozzles (e.g. CP nozzles or conventional hydraulic nozzles) set to deliver medium spray quality according to ASAE S572 Standard or the BCPC Guideline. A spray drift minimisation strategy should be employed at all times when applying this product. DO NOT apply DuPont Exirel insecticide using Ultra Low Volume (ULV) methods.

6 Minimising Spray Drift The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator must consider all these factors when making application decisions. The most effective way to reduce drift potential and maintain efficacy is to apply a volume mean diameter (VMD) microns. DO NOT apply during surface temperature inversion conditions at the application site. DO NOT apply when wind speed is less than 3 or more than 20 kilometres per hour at the application site. MANDATORY NO-SPRAY ZONES DO NOT apply if there are aquatic or wetland areas including aquacultural ponds downwind from the application area and within the mandatory no-spray zones shown in the table below: No-Spray zones for Protection of the Aquatic Environment FOR AERIAL APPLICATION Wind Speed Range at Time of Application From 3 to 20 kilometres per hour FOR GROUND APPLICATION From 3 to 20 kilometres per hour Downwind No-Spray Zone Helicopter 100 metres 5 metres SPRAY EQUIPMENT CLEANOUT Immediately following application, thoroughly clean all spray equipment to reduce the risk of forming hardened deposits which might become difficult to remove. Drain spray equipment, thoroughly rinse sprayer and flush hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water. Clean all other associated application equipment. Take all necessary safety precautions when cleaning equipment. DO NOT clean near wells, water sources or desirable vegetation. Dispose of waste rinse water in accordance with local regulations. CROPS CULTIVARS NOT TESTED Not all varieties, cultivars or hybrids of crops have been individually tested for crop safety. It is not possible to evaluate for crop safety all applications of DuPont Exirel insecticide on all varieties, cultivars, or hybrids, or under all environmental conditions and growing circumstances. To test for crop safety, apply the product in accordance with the label instructions to a small area of the target crop to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not occur, especially where the application is a new use of the product by the applicator. RECORD KEEPING Records of use, as described in The New Zealand Management of Agrichemicals (NZS8049) must be kept.
